Some Important Things to Note

Our training budge is limited. However, we feel that much of the training we provide our staff is far too valuable not to share. Therefore, we’ve chosen to share much of our training with surrounding departments and ancillary governmental agencies. Any monies we do receive will be used to further our training mission.

Pre-payment is not required to register. However, all course fees are due at the time of attendance. If payment is not received at the start of the first day of class the student will not be allowed to attend. (Sorry but we sometimes require your funds to cover our expenses.) Check, Money Order and Cash are all accepted. Make checks payable to the City of Aransas Pass. Please indicate course name on the check. A receipt will be provided. NO REFUNDS will be given.

Students are required to attend the entire training session so that successful completion can be reported to TCOLE. If an emergency arises, absences will be reviewed by the course instructor and training coordinator. Absences that exceed 10% of the total class hours will result in no credit being issued.

While attending any live-fire weapons training our training requiring the use of simuntions or air-soft weapons, it is recommended to wear body armor. Because our firearms instructor may wear read, students are prohibited from wearing a red shirt for training.

To register for a class, use the registration link on this page. You will receive an email confirmation if your registration was received. However, you are not admitted into the course until you’ve received a personalized confirmation from the training coordinator.
